Today might be the first day of spring but we’re already looking ahead to planning summer camping trips — and applying to Outdoorsy’s competition for “America’s Best Summer Job.” The RV rental platform is crowning one winner to travel for 30 days around the U.S. in an RV of their choice. The winner (an individual, couple or family) will be tasked with creating a blog (or vlog) of their adventures and will get a $20,000 stipend — sign us up.
Today we’re featuring:
The only 35oz, leakproof insulated coffee mug on the market
Why you should be using a shower head filter
A sustainable alternative to plastic shampoo bottles
A blackout sleep mask for your next red eye
Roof rack kits for Rivians
A Stanley-esque Mug From BruMate
New and improved: The drinkware and cooler brand released the Muv 35oz (from $43), an upgraded version of the Toddy XL 32oz now with a wide-mouth drink opening, cushioned grip and a lid that allows for eight different sipping positions. The leak-proof insulated mug comes in more than a dozen colors and prints and will fit in your cup holder. It’s available for pre-order and ships out later this week (March 22).
Considering a Filtered Shower Head?
In case you missed it: Earlier this month, a new filtered shower head launched. The Afina A-01 (from $199) promises to filter out chemicals, heavy metals and chlorine. Potential benefits include thicker and shinier hair and clearer skin. It’s a sleek minimalist shower head that’s easy to install on standard U.S. showers.
Why You Should Switch to Bath Bars
Clean and green: If you’re looking to up your sustainability habits, replace your plastic shampoo and soap bottles with beauty bars. One downside to this switch is that they can be tricky to store: enter Good Time’s magnetic bar holder ($24). It’s space-saving and keeps soap bars dry so they last longer. While you’re at it, check out the brand’s bar bundles, too. P.S. Good Time is also the sister brand of the sustainable toilet paper company, Who Gives a Crap.
A New Blackout Sleep Mask
Attention jetsetters: One of Matador’s latest product releases is an adjustable, and of course, packable sleep mask ($25) that also comes with earplugs. Get a good night’s rest nearly anywhere with the comfort of the cooling bamboo liner and quilted design that molds to your face to block out ambient lighting.
Front Runner Roof Racks for Rivian Models
Adventure ready: Attention Rivian owners, Front Runner Dometic Slimline II rack kits (from $1,372) are now available for R1T and R1S models, making your vehicle compatible with more than 50 Dometic rack accessories. Haul your kayak, surfboard and storage bags on your roof, or make a private shower cubicle from your roof rack.
